The TCB Weekly News Roundup, ending October 8, 2023 – Batter Up!

By Just Brian on October 8, 2023 • ( 0 )

CHECK OUT THE REPORTS. And check out the crimes list- know your risks.

Also in the news: on this day in 1871, the Great Chicago Fire, the fires of Peshigo, Wisconsin, and northern Michigan all began (more commonly attributed to dry summer conditions and hot debris from a comet that broke up in the atmosphere.)

And on this day in 1997, my hometown club, the Chicago Fire, were born.

Enjoy and be well, Everyone.
